Flat-head Pestle. In the centre of the head of this pestle
and the next one, and in many others which I have
examined, is a polished, deep depression, evidently the
result of use ; it could not have been formed by pound-
ing or grinding maize, and I think it may well be
doubted that these objects had anything to do with
the preparation of corn for food. They are only found
in those sections of the country where nuts with hard
shells abound, and it seems not unlikely that they
were specially used for cracking nuts, when perfect,
and that their use as corn crushers, if they were so
used, was secondary; in perfect condition they are
seldom found; most of the examples known show long-
continued and hard usage. Unusually line; height,
4] in., diameter of head, 31 in.

THE STONE AGE IN EUROPE.
It will be noticed that nearly all the following objects are from Den-
mark, and that most of them are of true tlint, a substance which it is
said does not occur in this country. Flint presents such a diversity and
richness of color that many of the objects arc very beautiful, unequalled
by similar implements found in America. The remark of a recent
writer concerning the Danish collection in the Peabody Museum at ram-
bridge, applies with equal foree to this choice little selection:
“ This collection derives special value from the fact that the Pini*h
government now reserves for its own Museums the results of explo-
rations carried on in its territory."

CELTS, GOUGES AND NARROW CHISELS.
CELTS, GOUGES AND NARROW CHISELS.
The objects here mentioned as Celts, are by European archaeologists
commonly denominated wedges, and the gouges are usually referred to
as hollow chisels.
It is proper to state that the term chipped, as applied to implements
of flint, does not indicate a defect, but simply a manner of working, and
is equivalent to flaked, as distinguished from polished or pecked.

Among the Stone relics found on this continent, Arrow Points are
far more numerous than all the other objects combined, but so far as my
limited observation extends, it seems that they are among the rarest of
the Scandanavian Hint implements. In a collection now belonging to
me, and numbering more than a thousand specimens, not above ten or
twelve arrow points are found ; each one was catalogued in the original
Danish invoice with most particular care, and illustrated with a drawing.

PERFORATED AXES AND HAMMERS.
We have here a form of implement peculiar to the Eastern Continent,
nothing of the sort being found in America: the nearest approach in
form being some of the varieties of Banner Stones. At a glance it seems
apparent that many of these objects were intended for hammers, but a
more careful examination discloses the fact that some of them of a form
best adapted to such use, show not the slightest marks of wear.

middle ridge, but was carried through full sized from
one side to the other : in some of these objects the

I have somewhere seen it stated that the Mound Builder smoked his
pipe without the intervention of a stem ; it is true that the monitor-shap-
ed mound builder’s pipe, with a Hat mouth piece, might have been so
u*ed, but many pipes of diverse forms which could only be used with a
stem, have been dug from mounds, the one here described being a fine
example.

Double pipe ; concerning this article 1 am uncertain
whether it is stone or pottery, and 1 am more in doubt
as to what the object was intended for; it has two
openings like pipe howls, each pierced with two holes
in which stems might be inserted, and the outside is
covered with numerous depressions which doubtless
were intended to be ornamental ; length 31 in., breadth
21 in., height 2 in.
Pipe ; monitor pattern ; stem broken : otherwise fine ;
length 3 in., height 1 4 in.
Spade ; light, colored chert from a mound in Illinois ; j na-
tions polished from long-continued use ; the edge new-
ly chipped; fine, and of this size very rare; length
11.] in., width 4^ in., thickness 11 in.
Spade ; material like the last, but of smaller size and
very symmetrical in form; from au Illinois mound;
81 x 8] x $ in.
Ivory bead ; five inches in length ; taken from a mound
in Kansas; this remarkable object is one of seventeen
found together ; it is symmetrical as though turned
in a lathe ; its diameter in the middle is jj of an inch,
at the ends A of an inch and the perforation about
of an inch. How a hole so long ami so small
could he bored in a substance so hard as ivory, is an
interesting question.
Mound Builders Kar Ornament : a pendant perforated
at the top; from Missouri ; very rarr.

PRE-GLACIAL MAN IN NEW JERSEY.
PRE-GLACIAL MAN IN NEW JERSEY.
The similarity of some of the following implements, more especially
the tirst seven lots, to the objects discovered by Dr. Abbott in place,
in the gravel of New .Jersey, on which he bases his theory of the
existence of Pre-Glacial man in that state, leads me to think that they are
of the same origin, but failing in my efforts to obtain definite information
on the subject, the matter remains in doubt.
